Ahuy ...

Val-Suzon ...This is Dijon’s hidden secret valley, sometimesknown as ‘little Switzerland in Burgundy’with Roche Aiguë rising to 600m.It is only 15 km north of Dijon city centre.To get the feel of the place, drive from the villageof Val-Suzon along the D7 to Messigny-et-Vantoux,with the limestone cliff face, the gently burbling Suzonriver, horses grazing and Charolais at peacewith the world. Then put on the walking boots andexplore the Grande Randonnée, GR2 route, home tobadgers, wild cars, wild orchids and flora and fauna notto be missed. There are 12 villages in the Val-Suzon,once land of iron forges, some of which are nowbeing preserved.source: burgundy4u.com
